Israel teams with terror group to kill Iran's nuclear scientists, U.S. officials

Deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists are being carried out by an terror group that is financed, trained and armed by Israel’s secret service, U.S. officials tell NBC News, confirming charges leveled by Iran’s leaders.

The group, the People’s Mujahedin, has long been designated as a terrorist group by the United States, accused of killing American servicemen and contractors in the 1970s and supporting the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran before breaking with the Iranian mullahs in 1980.

The attacks, which have killed five Iranian nuclear scientists since 2007 and may have destroyed a missile research and development site, have been carried out in dramatic fashion, with motorcycle-borne assailants often attaching small magnetic bombs to the exterior of the victims’ cars.

U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Obama administration is aware of the assassination campaign but has no direct involvement.

The Iranians have no doubt who is responsible – Israel and the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, known by various acronyms, including MEK, MKO and PMI.

“The relation is very intricate and close,” said Mohammad Javad Larijani, a senior aide to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, speaking of the MEK and Israel. “They (Israelis) are paying … the Mujahedin. Some of their (MEK) agents … (are) providing Israel with information. And they recruit and also manage logistical support.”

Moreover, he said, the Mossad, the Israeli secret service, is training MEK members in Israel on the use of motorcycles and small bombs. In one case, he said, Mossad agents built a replica of the home of an Iranian nuclear scientist so that the assassins could familiarize themselves with the layout prior to the attack.

Israel needs to be punished by the world community for sponsoring terrorism and paying terrorist groups to commit terror. Finally Israels true colors coming out....they dont hate terrorists....they support them..

Israel using deceit to start war....never...this is holocaust denying anti-semetic false news story. Israel is using groups it even labels as terrorist organizations and hires them to do work with them, how ironic is this. does that mean the USA is about to grow some balls and do something about this or is our government going to give in and do nothing as usual. I wonder if AIPAC being the biggest lobbying group or the congressmen, senators, and other elected officials who hold dual citizenship More..to Israel have anything to do with the way our Government handles things.Less..

keep up the great work, no radical islamic state should have nukes or even nuclear power. I don't know why everyone is hating on the jews here in the west, radical islam wants to see us dead just as badly. I do question the use of terror cells, but it's how every power operates so until policy and thinking is changed on a global scale within decision making circles it will never change.

israel is paying and training groups labeled as terrorist organizations by US and even Israel. For all we know they are doing it for all of them now. Israel just fucked itself on this one and you cant say anything that would change it. they are a terrorist supporting country now and hopefully the world starts opening their eyes more and more.

Iran is terribly evil. They sit there while losing respected civilian/military scientists and don't take Israel to task for their war crimes against Iran.
WW1 was started by the assassination of a two people. Israelis must not understand history.

Israel will start the war and the US will be left holding the bag, as usual. Netanyahu is an evil snake. In the long run US soldiers will die, Iranian civilians will die by the thousands and Israel will laugh at all of us. Israel is the greatest threat to peace the world has ever known.

Jews are authors of the financial collapse of world economies, some contribution. EVIL SNAKES like the Rothschild's Warburton's, Goldman Sach's create nothing but are parasites on others who do create and when that isn't enough they subvert congress to allow them to steal outright. As much as jews try to rewrite world history the proof is clear that you are nothing but thieving snakes!!

You're half right. Our leaders are not majority jews. The majority of our leaders are bribed by jews. The part you got right was that the media is entirely owned by jews and is full of zionist propaganda.

Sorry about the impending invasion. I hope you blame jews and not US citizens. We have no say whatsoever in what happens....Israel is behind all of it, so feel free to perpetrate as many acts of terrorism on Israel as you like!!
